Art Simone On Drag Races, Wigs & Sequined Ugg Boots

In one of our most enjoyable interviews to date, we're joined by drag artist, entertainer and producer, Art Simone, who also happens to be the current reigning Queen of Australia and Drag Performer of the Year two years running. We apologise in advance for all the laughing, we couldn't help ourselves.

What greeted us as we jumped on a Zoom call was not only a wall of mannequin heads wearing wigs, but one of the most glamourous queens we've ever interviewed, and boy did she make us laugh!

Art Simone chats to us about confidence-building, how she discovered drag as a teenager, the exciting projects she's got coming up, and why Vanessa Amorosi's jam "Absolutely Everybody" is her favourite song to perform to.

Oh, and we also find out that she uses skincare from The Ordinary and asap.
